Only approved profiles can register for retreats, lodging, or volunteering.
Step 2: Add Family Members and Friends
Family (for all seasons)
Add a spouse/partner (18+) by entering their email ID.
If they have an approved profile, they receive an email to confirm within 48 hours.
If they do not, they will be prompted to create a profile first.
Add children/dependents by entering their name and date of birth.
Both parents can add the same child.
The system automatically checks age eligibility for each program during registration.
Friends (this retreat season only)
Add a friend if you are attending together this season.
They must have an approved profile and confirm via email.
Friend connections are valid only for the current retreat season.
Step 3: Register for Retreats
Log in and go to the Retreat Registration section.
Select the retreat(s) you wish to attend.
Choose whether to register as an individual or include family/friend connections.
The system will:
Enforce the minimum age policy for participants
Allow only one Kriya retreat per person per season
Review and e-sign the terms and conditions for each retreat.
Click Pay Now:
If spots are available, your payment is processed through a 3rd Party Payment Processor (e.g. Stripe) and a confirmation email is sent.
If any retreat is full, you will see which one is unavailable and can adjust your cart.
Step 4: Add Lodge Registration (Optional)
After a successful retreat registration, you will be prompted to register for lodge stay.
Choose dates:
From one day before your first retreat to one day after your last retreat
Include all days of each retreat (no partial retreat days)
For back-to-back retreats, you may include the days in between
Select who will stay (you, family members, and/or a friend).
Choose occupancy:
Double occupancy (same gender roommates, max 2 per room; under 18 with an adult)
Single occupancy rooms where available
Review and e-sign lodge terms and conditions.
Confirm payment through a 3rd Party Payment Processor (e.g. Stripe) and receive your lodge confirmation email.
Step 5: Cancellations and Refunds
You may cancel:
For yourself
For specific family members
For all participants on a booking
When you cancel a retreat, any related lodge bookings are canceled as well.
The system will:
Check if you are eligible for a refund (e.g., 30 days before retreat start date)
Show the refund amount or “no refund” message
Ask you to confirm before processing
You will receive a cancellation confirmation email, and freed-up spots will become available for others.
Step 6: Registration Against Cancellations
If a retreat is sold out, spaces that open due to cancellations may be offered as Registration Against Cancellations.
These opportunities:
Open on a set date after the cancellation cutoff
Use the same flow as the original registration
Include a 24-hour refund window; after 24 hours, these bookings are non-refundable.
Step 7: Volunteer Registration
Ensure your profile indicates you are eligible to volunteer.
Go to the Volunteer Registration section.
Select:
Which retreats/days you wish to serve (pre-retreat days, all retreats, post-retreat day)
Your prior volunteering experience
Whether you have completed a Yoga Teachers Training Course
Your preferred service areas (e.g., Lodge, Kitchen, Dining, Parking, Registration & Merchandise, Cleaning & Sustainability, Pots & Pans, or “Any task”)
Volunteers aged 15–17 must provide parent/guardian details; the parent/guardian must be on campus at the same time.
Review and e-sign the volunteer terms and conditions.
After submitting:
